When you say rocker cover, do you mean the camshaft cover? If so, 9 Nm or 7 lbf/ft, according to the manual. In other words, not a lot.

Good question...I thoguht about this when I wrote the question! The cover I was talking about was the cover immediately under the sound deadening blanket / engine cover.

I dont think this is the camshaft cover as the injector rocker sits above the camshaft... Anyway, I think from above we all know which bit we're on about. 9Nm sounds about right as well.

In the end last night I just did them up till they felt right with a small 1/4 drive.

Thanks for the info.

That's it.

That's what it's called in the manual. Never had one apart, so I can't comment.

Sounds right to me.
